Description

TRA presented themselves as a defined-benefit account manager for teachers in the state of Minnesota. The original mailing solicited the Social Security numbers of myself and beneficiaries. The mailing and website are professionally presented. As a former payroll clerk - I saw no withdrawals on my check stubs that corresponded to what TRA claimed had been deposited in my account, I checked with both employers for whom I teach and neither they nor the Minnesota Department of Education have partnered with this entity to manage payroll deductions/ retirement accounts. They are not registered with the Secretary of State's office. If I had supplied the requested information my family members' and my financial info would have been compromised.
